Opimization Summary incoherence

[CSElliott]

Hello, does anybody know why my optimization results do not match with any of the summary details? Not even in the same direction of total profit and loss!

Hello CSElliott,

Thank you for your post.

First, what version of the platform are you running? You can find this under Help > About. The current version is 8.0.23.1. If you are on any other version, please update:

• First, copy your license key from NinjaTrader under Help> License Key then exit NinjaTrader
• Click on the link: https://ninjatrader.com/PlatformDirect
• Enter your license key and press Submit
• Select 'NinjaTrader 8'
• Select 'Download'
• Critical: Before running the installer, ensure NinjaTrader is closed.

Once completed, please rerun a fresh new optimization. Do you see the results matching summary details?

If not, please run an optimization using the built in Sample MA Crossover. Do the results match between the summary and what's listed when you click on it?

A few more questions as well. Does the strategy in question:

1. Have IsInstantiatedOnEachOptimizationIteration is set to false in State.SetDefaults?
   1. If so, are variables being reset?
2. use static variables?
3. use a timer?

Thanks in advance; I look forward to assisting you further.

Hello Kate, thank you for your fast reply!
yes, I use the latest version 8.0.23.1.
If I run Sample MA Crossover ... the results match.
yes, IsInstantiatedOnEachOptimizationIteration is set to false in State.SetDefaults
no variables are being reset
no static variables are used
no timer is used

Best regards, Chris

Hello CSElliott,

Thank you for your note.

I've noticed that another user on the forums also seems to be having issues with this same strategy:

https://ninjatrader.com/support/forum/forum/ninjatrader-8/strategy-development/1129340-strategy-optimizer-and-analyser-result-doesn-t-match#post1129388

Are you the creator of the strategy? Is the other user the creator of the strategy? Or did you receive this from another third party?

If it's one you created, we would want to see a drastically reduced version that focuses on one trading behavior while still reproducing the issue with the non-matching results.

If not, do you know who created the strategy? They would likely need to create the reduced version.

Thanks in advance; I look forward to assisting you further.

Hello Kate, “dastaan” is my developer, but the strategy is mine. As Aadhunik (dastaan) is already in conversation with you ... I leave it to him and his posts to carry this further! Thank you for your support!
